“Horrible Approach” – Pep Guardiola Warns Erling Haaland & Co. On Winning Titles Before Everton vs Manchester City Clash

In the high-stakes world of soccer, the pursuit often becomes to keep competing for titles this season. Manchester City is one team that remains under pressure to win titles every season because of the stars they have. But Pep Guardiola has warned it is a horrible approach. He would prefer Erling Haaland and the rest of the team to focus on winning their next game against Everton.

Everton has currently performed impressively and got the reward by scoring sensational wins. However, the Sky Blues fans will hope the team can return to form against the team they are expected to win.

Pep Guardiola has his priorities set!

Manchester City were treble winners, including Champions League winners last season under Pep Guardiola. It has seen the expectations of Erling Haaland and Co. go sky high. The fans also have high expectations as they want the team to retain the three trophies. But the Spanish manager feels that rather than focusing on trophies, they should put all their attention on the Everton clash.

Pep said, “The satisfaction of what we’ve done will remain but we have to do it again. I’ve never started a season thinking, ‘How many titles can we win?’ It’s a horrible approach. Next is Goodison Park. Further, then that doesn’t exist, not anything.”

Everton will be a tough test for the current Premier League champions. It is because they are unbeaten in four games in the league. Out of that, two wins have come at home against Chelsea and Newcastle United. The Toffees won those convincingly. Pep Guardiola’s team will have to deal with the physicality of the team. Defending set-pieces will be crucial for the team to battle against Everton.

It does indicate it could be a game where they will have to break through the defense and hold their own. But Manchester City and Erling Haaland both have impressive previous records.
